BELCHING FIRE AND ROCK.
The Bavispe Volcano Something Very
Different from Myth.

CITY OF MEXICO, September 13.-
The exploring party sent by the Gov
ernor Of the State of Sonora to visit
the scene of the new volcano and the
recent earthquakes near Bavispe,
have returned. They report chat the
volcano really exists and that it is
situated in Sierra Madre, thirteen
miles southeast of Bavispe. At the
time of their visit smoke and fame
were issuing from the crater, and
streams of lava and boiling water
were pouring down the side OF the
cone and destroying every particle of
vegetation which they encountered.
The crater was also discharging huge
rocks, which made it dangerous to
approach, and enormous rents in the
ground further added to the difficulty.
The explorers say that the whole re-
gion presents a scene of barrenness
and desolation, and bears evidences
of the frightful cataclysm which
convulsed it.

History in a Nutshell.

The federal constitution has four;
different dates fixing its adoption and
ratification, it's going into effect and
the organization of q government
under it. They are all worth re-
membering now.
September II, 1857, the constitu..
tion was ''done in convention by the
unanimous consent of the States
present" George Washington sign
ing first for Virginia's president Of.
the convention. This step is cele-.
brated this week, and it needed to be.
followed by the ratification Of nine
States before a government could be
organized.
June 81, 7,S, the last of these nine
States needed to pat the "New roof
of the constitution over the land, as
the phrase then ran, ratified the con.
stitution and it became the Law of the
land as far as these States were con-
cerned. This the event whose eel.
ebration in this city, July 4. 1888,
was described in the Sunday Press. 4
March 4, 1889, the first Wednes-
day of March, the constitution be-.
came practically operative" The.
supreme court was called upon to-
pass on this question (Owlngs vs.
Speed, 5 Wheaton 42), and it de-
cided that while the constitution was
adopted September II, 1877, and
was ratified June 21, 1873, yet these.
acts were only preliminary and pre-
paratory to the creation..of a govern
ment whose effective operation under
! the constitution began only With the
date set for it's organization.
April 80, 1889, General Washing,
ton vas inaugurated as the first pres:
ident, and the government, which
went into effect, March 4, ,or nearly
two months before, was set in motion
with two of its departments, execa:
tive and Legislative, complete. Tie
Judiciary was not organized until:
after the approval of the act of Sep.

verdict which decided chat seven of

of ignominy for the cause Of the Ia
boring people and the eighth shall

A Dead Letter Law.


Nothing shows more plainly that
we have too much legislation, than
the fact that we have laws on our
statute BOOKS that are totally disre-
garded. It is the duty Of the State
to uphold her Courts, to uphold the
administration of justice, and to en-
force every Act of the Legislature to-
the letter. When alaw is continually
disregarded, something is wrong
either in nth the law itself or those whose
duty it is to take the initiative step
in enforcing it.
To the quiet, honest, civilized citi-
zens, it is matter of the greatest
wonder. to find respectable people in
this country who go abont from day
to day, armed cap-apie more after:
the manner Of highwaymen, or mid.
night marauders, than peace-soying
citizens of South Carolina, especially
when there is penal statute forbid.
ding the carrying of concealed Wea-
pons.
a few days..ago a mad dog made
a run across the public square, in
this town, and in less than thirty
seconds, not less than half dozen
pistols were drawn from the hip
pockets of those in reach ofthe yexed
canine. sss
What effort is made anywhere ins
this State to enforce this law. Never
is there case reported, unless the
prosecutor happens to have 8 grndge
against some one, whom he cannot
reach otherwise. If the law is en-
forced 80 far as to have any appre.
ciable effect, it is q good one, but
otherwise, it is very bad, in that it
places law abiding men at the mercy
of the lawless.

A Very Ripe State.


Att07l1U COlSlEdL1O1e.
We have frequently mentioned in
these columns the fact that Rhode
Island is probably the ripest state to
be found in the union. We have
mentioned this not as q matter of
news, but as fact to be sad about.
Rhode Island has no republican form
Of government. There is no such
thing as manhood suffrage within it's
borders. Its citizens cannot exer.
else the right of suffrage unless they
have. certain amount of property,
but person who is not q citizen nor
even a resident of the state can be
elected governor because ne has mo.
ney to contribute to the republican
campaign fund.
Taking all these facts into consid.
GRAFTON, there is nothing surprising
in the fact that Rhode Islands d.
vorce laws are in such a ripe condi.
ton that they are rotten. Under
these laws it is,possible for a. woman
to obtain divorce without applying
for it and without knowing that she
has obtained one. In Rhode Island
alone of all the states is it easier to
obtain a divorce than to contract q
marriage.
This is probably the opinion of
Mrs. Anes F. Carpenter, who recent.
ly discovered that she had applied
for divorce from her husband and
that her application had been granted.
The divorce, it appears, was based on
a simple request for separation, to
which her husband secured her sig.
nature by telling her that it was q
paper pledging her to make no claim
on his wages. When Mrs. Carpenter
discovered that divorce for which
she had not applied had been'granted
her Carpenter was already married
to another woman.
The courts have, of course, vacated
the decree, but irreparable wrong has
been done under color of the vicious
divorce laws of Rhode Island. The
young woman whom Carpenter mar
ried finds that she has never been
his wife at all. It is only in Rhode
Island that the law aids and abets
such scoundrels as Carpenter.

Eot Likely to be Misunderstood

There is this to be said for the
Rev. Samuel Small-he is not likely
to be misunderstood, For example,
while discoursing in his own peculiar
way on temperance he indulged in
the following burst of eloquence:
When you goto heaven and Christ
asks you what about this liquor
question-how did you vote on it
while on earth, and you say, "Well,
I have the Chicago platform here, T
took it and stuck to il" He will put
you and the platform in hell together.
